摘要：Body dissatisfaction,importance of thinness,dieting behaviour,and weight watching were examined through discussions with 34 girls in five focus groups and with a questionnaire survey on the sample of 184 girls.The article emphasis is on sociocultural and interpersonal influences on girl's body images and eating practices.Quantitative and qualitative results point to fashion and media as the strongest pressures to be thin for subjects.Family members and peers are beside magazines,TV programmes and numbers of clothes important source of message about the importance and attainability of thinness.Some respondents reported direct pressures to diet from friends and parents but indirect social influences were more common.These influences included social comparison,teasing,criticizing.A few girls live in a subculture of intense weight and body-shape concern that places them at risk for disordered eating behaviour.
其他摘要：Nezadovoljstvo s postavo,pomen vitkosti,dietno obnašanje in nadzorovanje teže sem raziskala s pogovori s 34 dekleti v petih fokusnih skupinah in z anketo na vzorcu 184 deklet.Poudarek članka je na družbeno-kulturnih in medosebnih dejavnikih,ki vplivajo na telesno samopodobo in na prehranjevalne prakse deklet.Rezultati kvalitativne in kvantitativne raziskave kažejo,da so najmočnejši zaznani pritiski k vitkosti s strani mode in medijev.Poleg revij,televizijskih vsebin in številk oblačil so predvsem družinski člani in vrstniki pomemben izvor sporočila,da je vitkost pomembna in dosegljiva.Približno tretjina respondentk je poročala o neposrednih pritiskih k dietam s strani prijateljev in staršev;bolj običajni pa so posredni socialni vplivi.Ti vplivi obsegajo socialno primerjavo,draženje,kritiziranje.Nekatera dekleta živijo v subkulturi,ki daje izjemno velik poudarek skrbi za težo in postavo,zaradi česar so izpostavljene tveganju za moteno hranjenje.
